wow thank you all for the feedback!! I too thought it might be he rekindled with someone back home, but i'm 99.9% sure that is not the case. I think its more a matter of wanting to be back in the safetey and comfort of the small town he grew up in, parents, old friends, etc. We live in a big city that is far from where he grew up and it is at the heart of the rat race and I think it's overwhelming him right now.
Thank you for the information about depression. I too think it is the depression of being off drugs. I just don't know how long that depression is going to last and if it will lead him back to me anyway. It is so sad and i'm so heartbroken. I wish someone could tell me its totally normal and he's going to wake up and love me again in a few weeks :-(
I am so sorry to hear you have to go through all this! I completely agree with Dbgc!
Please keep us posted :)
depression is a huge issue after quitting, proud of you for sticking it through with him. 5 weeks the brain is still trying to heal its self and the hollow feeling is a big issue. I doubt he met somebody but more likely he is having a hard time coping without the drug. does he go to any meetings? Just give him time and he may want to use again but not let you down and this might be the way he thinks he can handle it. I can tell you are a truely patient person and your heart is full of love for him. try to sit and talk with him and feel him out and be understanding of his needs and to yours also as you need the love and compassion too. like i said the brain is a funny thing and it takes along time to heal he still is in the mental battle and fighting his emotions. best wishes to you and keep us posted. My heart goes out to you and you husband. he can be normal again it just like trainging the mind over again to cope with life without drugs.
wow, im so sorry to hear this...do you think he met someone (an old ex girlfriend or something like that when he was back home?) that seems more likely considering the circumstances. Either that or he got introduced back onto the drugs while there. I dont know, it just seems weird that everything was fine until he went back home and then decided that... I wish you the best of luck and keep us posted. I wish I could help you more in some way..
